What do you think about your attitude? I try to be a positive person. I think I usually succeed. we all have our bad days though.
What do you think about yourself? A lot has changed, and I definitely have some personal adjusting to do.

National Honor Society…when you are inducted, they TP your house (damn smart kids…getting into mischief)...and then you get to TP the new inductees each year after you become a member.
